Overview

The Mai Lan Kunzy Scholarship aims to support a graduate staff member of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Vietnam, to undertake a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at The University of Queensland (UQ) in Brisbane, Australia. The successful applicant would undertake their PhD research program through UQ’s Faculty of Medicine at the Translational Research Institute.

The Mai Lan Kunzy Scholarship was established in 2013 and is maintained by gifts from Dr Hugh E Kunze, who graduated from The University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Science in 1969, a Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry in 1973, and a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery in 1977. The Scholarship is to enable students from Vietnam to undertake postgraduate study at The University of Queensland and thereby reach their personal goals and aspirations, to contribute to family and community, and contribute to the growth of the intellectual capital and capacity of the nation of Vietnam and the broader community.

This Scholarship will support a student undertaking a biomedical-focused PhD in the Frazer Institute or the Mater Research Institute-UQ based in the Translational Research Institute (TRI):
